-5+|6+p|=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the answer it's {2,10} but I don't know how to solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you so sure that two and ten are your solutions? Why don't you substitute them for the variable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait does that mean it could be both answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like it can be 2 or 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Always start by isolating as much as possible: so add five to both sides. No, neither two nor ten is an answer. But you're very close.

OpenStudy (goformit100):

Doyou know the Modulas method :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6+p=4 or 6+p=-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so p can egual -10 and -2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I put the answer {-2,-10}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, if that's the required format; looks like a set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thank you so much
